Topic: WP Old School 7 SPOILERS (Read 10185 times)

Hey all, Old School 7 will be out sometime mid to late next week. It will be same format as last time with the addition of puzzles and checklists returning.

As with last time I will be offering up a raffle for some goodies involving original art and more (more details to come next week).

This set I will have a handful of stickers based on roughs Jay and I worked on for other Old School sets that, for one reason or another, did not get used. That, and lots of cool 70s products never seen in WP form and one Jay rough from the 70s.

A spoiler image to start things off: Dippity Don't based on Dippity Do

Back around Old School 1, I put you in touch with the guy I knew who had the television commercial reel for the Wonder Bread Wacky Packages and at a point, you guys were going to do something with that. Recall what happened?

I see that with the recent On Demand Stranger Kids GPK release has a nice, long 90 day availability.

Pat and others have brought this up before, but it really seems like a month or two long window could be done with OLDS 7 as well.they could have two listings: one is for basic set of stickers + checklist cards, with no sketches or chase cards. the other listing for the limited number of full-blown sets with the sketches, etc., just like last year, and when those are sold out, they are gone.

Topps already does this for the baseball team sets, where there are always two options: one is a basic team set and the other includes an autograph card. Both have long duration sell windows, and of course the autographed versions can and do sell out before the clock is up, but the basic set runs for a long time.

Well, it's good to see that Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs finally made it, as promised in the OLDS 6 spoilers post. That makes all three of the major Ralston cereals done as Wackys (the other two were Freakies and Moonstones).

I take it that there'll be 30 stickers in this series, as usual, that it'll be released in this month (i.e., November) and that it'll have only puzzles and checklists, but no subsets, packs, wrappers and/or boxes (meaning that it'll be released in a plastic box again)? Also, will the stickers be die-cut this time? Details, please, details!

Like Wacky Packages Old School 6 had a Peanuts/Charlie Brown/Snoopy related Wacky (Scoopy Sno-Crush Machine which spoofs Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine), will there be another Peanuts related old school wacky in Old School 7?

I'll have two other classic 70s cereals in the set as well.

Yes, 30 cards, exact same format as the previous Old School with the only change being Checklists and Puzzles pieces will be added to the backs of the rough cards. So, not the exact same puzzle/ checklist format but they are there. There will be a Topps product as the puzzle. Same price, three sketch cards, Ludlow, tan and white variations. I tried asking for a header sticker (an Old School "wrapper" card to sit on the top of the stack) but not sure that made it this time around. I will also have the same contest deal for people that buy three and show me the receipt.

I presume that Dove will be Glove, based on one of Jay Lynch's color roughs that I saw on lostwackys.com? If so, then that's one Note that Patrick can remove from the Spreadsheet.

No, it's not Glove. It's a gag Jay did for me during Old School 3 that we previously did not use. I used a few recent Jay Old School gags (saved some others for a possible Old School 8. I did use a Jay gag from the 70s though and plan to use some others down the line.

Like Wacky Packages Old School 6 had a Peanuts/Charlie Brown/Snoopy related Wacky (Scoopy Sno-Crush Machine which spoofs Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine), will there be another Peanuts related old school wacky in Old School 7?

I know that I shouldn't expect too much, but is McCormick going to be McSnoremick?

Oh, by the way, you misspelled "cereal" the second time.

Finally, just what are Space Food Sticks? Never heard of them.

Yep, that is the 70s Jay gag I used.

Space Food Sticks is a weird product that came out during the space race in the late 60s and continued through the mid 70s. It's shaped like a slim jim and is a protein stick or something like that. The box is great. It's almost all text. Jay wrote an amazing gag for it.
